HELPS PROGRAM Whereas, the Village of East Aurora board of Trustees has the authority to manage the Village Personnel efficiently and effectively in accordance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and collective bargaining agreements, including New York State Civil Service Laws and the Erie County Rules for the Classified Service; and Whereas, New York State Civil Service Commission has developed and the Erie County Personnel Department has adopted the NYS HELPS (Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide) program, which allows for the inclusion of titles where qualified individuals may be appointed to a non-competitive version of a competitive title in order to gain permanent status without competitive examination and upon completion of a necessary probationary term be placed in the competitive class without further exam; and Whereas, Erie County has recommended that the below resolve clause regarding the appointment process be approved to allow the Village of East Aurora to appropriately utilize the NYS Helps program in its most efficient form so as not to delay the ability of employees hired through the program to gain permanent status. Now therefore be it resolved, that any individual appointed by this honorable body prior to or going forward which is afforded the opportunity to utilize the NYS Helps program, as approved and administered by The County of Erie, shall be, without further approval of this body, appropriately placed where possible into said program and upon completion of the minimum probationary term of the position and the requirements as outlined/approved by Erie County Civil Service, be afforded the rights of that of a competitive class appointment without further exam or approval by this body.
